Safes

Under stress, which are you more likely to screw up?

Nothing bedside? Stress reliever; glock & breacher shotty. clear the house then suit up for the firestorm

Now how about location, does anyone put a safe in the garage?

Unless you have a garage that's got climate control I would suggest against that...too many humidity and temp fluctuations.

I agree. I do know people who put theirs in the garage and havn't had any problems, but I would only consider this if there was no other possibility

I'd think garage would be worse off for security reasons? Perp only has to break into the garage not the rest of the house.

Have a liberty Franklin 35 i bought at Center sports in columbia in CT much cheaper than anyone around i picked it up and two of my buddies and me got it into my basement through a door and down the stairs, 845 pounds and the three of us all weight under 200 pounds each it was easy if you use alittle brain rigging straps a winch and a truck but they have much smaller safes too.

I've also got a Simplex pushbutton lockbox for a handgun.

Locate the zero on an electronic lock and you can find your combo in the dark, do it all the time
there is a rope light in mine on all the time,can find what I want in 2 second's.

Rob, I understand what you are saying. But I have had no such problems with my electronic dials in daily use for 5+ years.

It's a matter of probabilities. I have a safe with an electronic lock going on 16 years without a single glitch.

Another point probably worth mentioning... Figure out the biggest safe you think you'll need, and then try and get a bigger one.

My safe seemed huge but now it is cramped

 

[CBudz]

Alright I'll give them a shot, I'm trying to go 'concealed' meaning hide it where I can in my basement because it's full of shit.. I have some sneaky little spots so dimensions are my limiting factor now, will fit the biggest safe.

I just bought this one last week. It has a 24 gun capacity, and is fire rated. I think for the money it is a good buy. They also have Cannon safes in stock.

I have always thought a concrete filled cinder block wall on the end of the house with a vault door would be the best long term solution. Get a vault door, and you have a whole gun room.
